captions paid for by nbc-universal television and good morning. welcome to "today" on a friday morning. i'm matt lauer. i just want to announced i'm wearing a container of johnson's baby powder under this suit. >> thank you so much for sharing that. that's right. i'm ann curry. we're in the channel gardens and outside because we're crazy this morning. the heat index is already 95 degrees this morning. it's supposed to be about 102 degrees in new york city, matt. >> we've been talking about this heat wave for a long time now. today the east coast is getting the worse of it. you're going to have a heat index of about 111 here in new york city, 118 down in washington, d.c., 107 up in boston. power grids struggling to keep up with all the demand. al is going to have the very latest on this situation coming up in just a couple of minutes. >> also coming up this morning we'll be talking about lindsay lohan. she's in court, was in court on thursday. she's saying she can't afford court-ordered psychiatric help. but shortly after that hearing the blogosphere noticed she showed up wearing thousand-dollar shoes. more on that and plus, potential new legal troubles for her. are men really as lazy as women tend to portray them when it comes to doing chores around the house? we're going to have the results of a new survey. this is going to put smiles on the faces of a lot of men this morning so we're going to take a lot of time with this study. and speaking of the temperature, although it's hot here on the plaza, we've got really cool customer. grammy winner cee lo green is out on the plaza this morning in our 8:30 half hour. one of the stars and judges of "the voice." the deadly heat wave has the nation on high alert. we have nbc anne thompson at a power station in brooklyn. hey, anne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, ann. there are twin concerns about this heat wave this morning. the first is can power companies across the eastern seaboard hand what is expected to be record demand as millions of americans seek relief in air conditioning today? and secondly, the very real health threats that are associated with this heat wave. it has already claimed more than two dozen lives. you can see it on people's faces. almost half the country's population sweltering in this heat wave. >> you can't move without sweating. >> it's really hot. it's ridiculous. >> reporter: as soon as some stores get in air conditioning units, they go out the door. tommy anthony bought one for his elderly aunt. >> my aunt is 92 years old, and she had a little bit of a heart problem, and her air conditioner broke yesterday. so she needs one no matter what the cost, no matter what. >> reporter: his aunt is one of 8 million new yorkers seeking relief from temperatures that today could hit 100 degrees and feel like 115. the power company says it is ready. >> we could handle five days in a row of 100 degrees. >> reporter: pjm, the nation's largest independent grid operator, managing electricity across 13 states in the mid atlantic and midwest, said it's seeing record demand. as temperatures go up, air quality goes down, adding to the health risks for young and old. >> we are concerned about dehydration. it's key for people to stay hydrated. water is really enough for most. >> reporter: yet some are feeling a different kind of heat. >> i now pronounce you husband and wife. >> reporter: these love birds blissfully oblivious to the heat index of 112 in the nation's capital. >> i didn't think about the humidity. i married my best friend and the man of my dreams. i'm elated. >> reporter: now, a couple of things to keep in mind. first of all, be a good neighbor and check on your elderly neighbors. make sure they have someplace cool to go. here in new york city they've opened some 500 cooling centers. secondly, we can't stress this enough. stay hydrated. drink plenty of water today. and remember your pets because they need water, too. matt and ann, back to you. >> good tips. more of those coming up. anne thompson, thanks. mr. roker is across the street here. any relief in sight this weekend? >> you know it's hot when matt lauer breaks out seersucker. that's all i have to say. when you look at the watches, warnings and advisories from texas and nebraska into new england and air quality alerts here in the northeast, red-flag alerts for bad air quality. look at these temperatures right now. the this is for afternoon highs. 103 in philly. could set a record. 102 in new york city. a record as well possible, 98 in virginia beach. charlotte, 100. as you widen out the heat continues to spread to the west. 104 in topeka. 103 in dallas. what we're expecting, take a look at the heat indexes, you can see it's going to feel like 107 in indianapolis. it will feel like 111 in new york city. the good news is, the pattern is changing. it's going to take a little while. right now here's that big upper-level ridge, but we're getting a little cooler air coming in. this, though, back in canada, this is where the real relief comes. as we move into the early part of next week, by tuesday, the heat breaks in the north east. seasonal in the mid atlantic states. unfortunately for our friends in the south and the southwest and gulf coast the heat goes on. ann? >> thank you very much. we'll get the rest of the forecast coming up. let's turn to what anne thompson was talking about, the idea of how dangerous the temperatures are. we're have dr. nancy snyderman with more tips. just remind us. who is most us is is sepsuscept? >> the heat wave like this, elderly and the very young people with breathing conditions. but right now, frankly, everyone is at risk. it's a reminder that as many people die of heat-related illnesses than all the natural disasters. that includes tornadoes, hurricanes, snow issues. number one thing, ann, is called heat stroke. that's where you're literally, your core body temperature goes high, up to 103 degrees. you stop sweating. your skin turns hot, red and dry. you can have a rapid, strong pulse. this is a medical emergency. you take the cooler and dump the ice on someone and immediately get them to the emergency room. >> we've had some people die this week of heat stroke. >> that's exactly right. >> is that heat exhaustion? >> not quite as emergent but just as important. you have to break the temperature. and that is you start sweat progre profusely. your skin turns pale and sweating and muscle cramps and exhaustion. another reason to get out of the heat. >> before we get to that point you should probably take preventive action. what are the best preventative actions? >> anne thompson mentioned getting hydrated, but don't wait until you're thirsty. hydrate before you go outside. drink lots of water. replacing the salt. this is one of the times the sports drinks make sense because they have electrolytes in them. if you don't have air conditioning, especially true for the elderly, sometimes afraid to venture out, get to a cooling center. call someone. if you love to exercise, pace yourself. exercise in the morning. and please remember, if you are at risk or someone near you, avoid it. this is not something to be casual about. >> nancy snyderman, thank you. >> you bet. >> always great to have you for a segment. let's get a check of the rest of the morning's top stories from natalie morales at the news desk. >> good morning, everyone. breaking news this morning. a major explosion rocked central oslo this morning. nbc's martin fletcher is in norway this morning. what's going on there? >> reporter: hi, natalie. there was a big explosion in the center of oslo in an area of many government buildings. one eyewitness said there was smoke, chaos, many injured, apparently. we don't know about any deaths yet. no one knows what's going on. the eyewitness said he was afraid of more bombs, but there was a huge explosion. it is a national holiday in oslo today, so there were as many people in the city center as there could have been, natalie. >> thank you, martin fletcher reporting from london. with just 11 days to go until the default deadline, president obama says he's still hoping to do, quote, something big and meaningful to reduce the federal deficit. officials say the president is making progress in his latest talks with house speaker john boehner. james murdoch could be called to clarify his testimony before british lawmakers. a former legal adviser and editor is contradicting the news corp.'s executive's son saying he was well aware of hacking at "news of the world." this as the u.s. justice department prepare s subpoenas o investigate whether or not news corp. hacked the voice mails of 9/11 victims. the pentagon plans to announce the military is ready to repeal don't ask, don't tell. the president still has to get the final green light on the repeal until the ban can be lifted. nfl owners voted overwhelmingly in favor of a tentative agreement to end the four-month lockout, but there's no vote yet from players because they have yet to see the full proposal from the owners. could donald trump be thinking about running for president again? he told greta van susteren that a new campaign could be in the works. >> if the economy continues to do badly and if the republicans pick somebody that i think is the wrong person and isn't going to win, i would very seriously consider running as an independent. >> trump previously launched a brief run for the white house but dropped out before officially declaring his candidacy. a fiery crash in upstate new york when a tractor trailer slammed into a tour bus on the new york throughway causing both vehicles to burst into flames. several medical helicopters and about 20 ambulances responded to the crash and more than 20 people were injured. 32 people have been killed and more than 320 had been injured in tour bus accidents so far this year. and with the scorcher here at home, it might be hard to imagine that parts of chile right now are under eight feet of snow. several cities have lost electricity and can only be reached by helicopter, leaving thousands stranded. how quickly that will be here for us. 7:11. back over to matt, ann, and al. just around the corner. >> looks fabulous. >> great. mr. roker, tell us more. >> when you think about this, >> when you think about this, syracuse got 179 inches of snow this past winter and yesterday 101 degrees. it's all relative. let's see what's happening for today. we are going to show you we've got showers and thunderstorms firing up in iowa and on into illinois and parts of wisconsin. the risk of storms there stretching from the dakotas all the way into ohio. beautiful weather in the pacific northwest today. the heat continues in texas as those cities down there, a lot of cities in texas have had over 20 to 25 days of 100 plus degree readings. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. >> oh, we continue to get a break while most of the nation has oppressive heat. we're going to get a couple of cool days. this weekend great for outdoor activities. we have a pretty solid cloud deck that's going to cool us off. the daytime highs in the 80s and the 70s, just 69 degrees today in san francisco. 70 in santa cruz. thick fog in santa cruz. take it easy on 17. the weekend looks great. that's your latest weather. matt? >> al, thank you very much. humanitarian disaster, the african nations are plagued but an unrelenting drought and famine. and an international aid agency says millions are at risk of dying. we are in kenya. this story you're about to see contains some disturbing images. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. i just spent close to a week at a desperate place, a giant refugee camp on the kenya/somalia border built for 90,000 refugees. the population today is 400,000. it's a population that grows almost every single minute. they have walked for days, even weeks in search of food and water. at more than 1,000 new refugees arrive here every day. many are children who are still in grave danger. >> the mothers and the children, i'm not sure many of them will be alive in the next week or two. >> reporter: just outside the camp a makeshift village has been formed, in terrible conditions by desperate people. many are stuck, unable to make the final few miles. the people who live here haven't been placed here, they've chosen to come. they've created their own community because the pressure in the main camp is so great. she is waiting for space there to free up. she tells me that to get here she walked for an entire month from somalia with her five children. but along the way she took in another child. she found him alone. his mother had died from hunger as they travelled. this is where she escaped from, somalia, where the situation is even worse. >> i've met here today people from all over southern somalia, and there is no food where they are. i just heard from one woman who has lost three of her children. >> reporter: tens of thousands have died there already. and the exodus continues. one problem is that the militant group controls much of southern somalia. so only now as much of foreign aid is getting through. one problem for aid workers is that the most desperate place in the world is also the most dangerous. matt? >> thank you very much for bringing us the story. we appreciate it. 15 minutes after the hour. here's ann. >> thanks. the space shuttle "atlantis" is now set to be a museum piece. it was towed into a building at the kennedy space center thursday, shortly after the last shuttle mission came to a close. nbc's tom costello is in cocoa beach, florida, a town hit hard at the end of the shuttle program. good morning. >> good morning to you. all the shuttles are going to be tourist attractions, but for the communities up and down the space coast, cocoa beach, titusville, cape canaveral, they're all just trying to hold on. the area code along florida space coast says it all, three, two, one, a nod to nasa and the life blood of this place. at its peak, 17,000 people worked on the shuttle program at cape canaveral. thousands more lived off the spin-off jobs. but with the loss of 9,000 of those nasa jobs, the space cost is looking more like a ghost coast, abandoned shopping malls, boarded up store fronts, homes cut in half. making it hard to move on for another job. for 11 years james has worked as an engineer at the shuttle's communications and tracking systems. his last day at work will be tomorrow. >> everybody is looking for the same job. there is not as many jobs as there are people. so you just have to hone your skills and stay on the education and, you know, compete. >> reporter: he wants to stay in the area he loves, but times are tough. while the state unemployment rate in florida is now 10.6%, it's higher along the space coast. 10.9% in the core county in brevard. 11.3% in county. 12 pbt.6% in titusville. in titusville, more than 10% of the people who live here are losing their jobs. at the diner, paul has seen his regular customers leave one at a time. >> you know them by name. the next thing you know they're gone because of getting laid off. you know, i know of five more people that are getting laid off on the 22nd. >> reporter: but the mayor has faith in the people here. >> they're the kind of people who helped put a man on the moon, helped fly a shuttle program for 30 years, helped build an international space station. these are not people that shy away from a challenge. >> reporter: they never have. now, up and down the space coast they're hoping, hoping that the commercial rockets that will replace the shuttle, that they will bring jobs and eventually nasa's deep space program will bring jobs. but those programs are years away. ann? >> thanks. it is now 7:18. once again, here's matt. >> if you were enthrawled by britain's royal wedding, you will love what's happening at buckingham palace. michelle, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, matt. so you remember that royal wedding thing that happened here? well, it's back. kind of. princess catherine's wedding gown is about to go on display expected to draw half million visitors between tomorrow and october. oh, yes, you remember it well. but you haven't seen it like this. catherine's dress still looks like a dream come true even if she's not there to bring it to life. what you can do is stick your face right up and see the delicate lace, every stitch made by hand. >> that's so much work. wonderful craftsmanship. people can appreciate when they come and see it here. i think it will be quite a revelation. >> reporter: you see the cascading nine-foot train, how fine the silk veil is, topped with the tiara loaned by the queen, all 888 diamonds. and another revelation, what did kate wear under her gown? hand-made shoes, of course. high heels. you can see the couple's cake, yes, the actual cake, with only the top three small tiers replaced, and a replica of the bouquet. >> some people thought it was iii%rq) and the dress. t it was >> the dress is tiny up close. it's not that huge of a creation. maybe it's just the size of this room, the ballroom whereok thei wedding reception was held. >> what a tiny waist. is this the real dress? elated. i thought it was going to be a bit of a cake dress. >> reporter: and its understated elegance has sold over 100,000 advance tickets, more than ever before here. it's all the little things, including the royal family's incredible faberge collection that you can't see on the big screen. >> you see it but you can't touch it, feel it, smell it, or taste it, unless you are really here. >> reporter: just don't try to taste it. as delicious as it all appears. >> what kate has done is she's the biggest sensation to hit the royal family in the last 22 years. >> reporter: okay. so check this out. it costs $28.53 for admission to get in there. so if they sell out this show, that's $18.3 million that will go toward renovating the palaces, including this one which reportedly pretty much needs it. the royal family can say, thank you, young catherine, for that huge wedding we threw you. matt? >> thank you very much, doing the math. michelle, thank you very much. coming up, lindsay lohan scolded once again by a judge. is she in legal jeopardy? we'll get the latest on that. but first, on a friday morning, com coming up, are men getting a bad rap when it comes to doing their share of tours around the house?

a new study that reports that guys aren't the slackers they've been made out to be. maybe not anymore, matt. >> that's right. you're going to be interested in these statistics. let's begin with troubled actress lindsay lohan in hot water again. this time she's saying she has money problems as well. nbc's aditi roy has more on this. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. it was lohan's sixth time in front of a judge this year alone on what seems to be a typical day of the star of "mean girls"n and and "the parent trap" she was once again reprimanded by a judge for not fulfilling her probation, and she was hit by another lawsuit. a familiar sight, lindsay lohan back in court on thursday. this time for a progress report in front of the judge who was less than satisfied with lohan's efforts to meet her probation requirements. >> i will not take into consideration, sorry, couldn't do it, i was on the set, on the john gotti movie. >> at issue, community service. since april lohan has served just four out of 60 court mandated days at a women's shelter and more, a commitment she must meet within a year. >> trust me, she will be held to that deadline. >> reporter: another requirement, psychiatric help. lohan's attorney said her client couldn't afford it. >> she was working with a psychiatrist at ucla, and the reason that that treatment ended was for financial reasons. >> reporter: that argument didn't sway the judge. >> she doesn't have the means? maybe she knows somebody who can help out. >> reporter: online reports immediately questioned the star's claims of being broke, pointing out the price tag of her designer christian louis vuitton shoes, roughly $1,000. >> like most people in los angeles county, lindsay lohan has made the classic defense move -- i can't afford therapy. the problem is that lindsay lohan is not the classic defendant. it's kind of hard to make an argument that you can't afford therapy when you're struting your louis vuittons to court. >> reporter: it's just the latest since her dui arrest four years ago, begging the question, could lohan end up spending more time behind bars? >> when someone is on probation it means if they do anything to break the law or cause any problems, that that could bring their old case back up. >> reporter: on thursday, lohan was also slapped with a civil lawsuit from dawn bradley, an employee at the betty ford center who claims lohan assaulted her. criminal charges in the case were dropped by prosecutors. there was no comment from lohan's attorney or publicist regarding the civil suit. the judge required that lohan who's been in rehab five times since 2007, find psychological counseling within 21 days. her lawyer says that will happen, and if it does, the actress won't have to report to court again in the october. matt? >> adee tee roy covering the story for us. thank you very much. savannah guthrie is "today's" legal correspondent. good to see you. >> good morning. >> before we get to the nuts and bolts of her situation, if she were jane doe, would she be having all these public in-court checkups? >> i don't think we could be covering it. >> would it be happening? would it be a phone call with a probation officer? >> it's not typical to be in court in california. but you're right, the more typical interface for most criminal defendants is to talk to a prodags offerser, not the judge. >> she's completed 33 hours of 480 mandated hours of community service. is she in trouble on this? >> she's headed in that direction. clearly, the judge is trying to basically get a shot across the bow and say, i don't want to hear in a year that you didn't have time to do the community service. or now you're on a movie or you have this excuse or that excuse. there's really no reason right now why lindsay lohan cannot be chipping away at this big block of community service she's owed and the judge is making it clear she's expecting it to be done. >> this idea where she's required to also get psychological counseling, all people agree it should not be group counseling, it should be one-on-one. this is probably not going to fly with her saying i can't afford it right now. also, it let's people know how seriously she's taking all this because, clearly, she can use this. >> look. we could all agree, everyone can use a little bit of therapy. lindsay lohan is certainly no exception. more to the point, the judge has ordered she has to comply with it as part of the terms of her probati probation. if she fails to do this, she will be in violation. i'm surprised the defense attorney tried to pull off the poverty excuse because there is a way, she can get some kind of psychological counseling, i think, that's not going to be an excuse that's going to be very persuasive for the judge. >> as aditty just mentioned, she got word on thursday that dawn bradlee, the former rehab worker from the betty ford center, is suing her for what she claims her injuries suffered from an altercation in december. prosecutors did not press any charges on this. and now here's this woman bringing this civil suit, so is this -- is this a money grab? >> strictly speaking, yes, it's a matchup suit for damages. but i think you raise the point i would have raised which is remember this is a case that criminal prosecutors declined to prosecute, may say something about the strength of the case even though the burden in civil court is lower. this is a woman asking for a million dollars in damages, including a claim of post traumatic stress disorder. this plaintiff may be looking for a settlement from lindsay lohan. >> lindsay lohan could be what we call a target defendant. thanks so much. appreciate it. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> all right, thank you, matt. high above rockefeller center, we're here on the county hogan memorial camera lift to show you the scope of this crowd. take a look. over there on the 48th street, they're all hanging out. and you know you think alaska, you think nice cool weather. they've got plumbing to deal with in juno, alaska. did you know there's a place where the ice melted and it sent lots and lots of water rushing into the river and now they've got flooding to deal with. let's see what you're going to be dealing with as far as your weekend is concerned. for saturday, a risk of strong storms in the upper mississippi river valley. sunshine and mild in the pacific northwest. the heat continues here. and then sunday, sunday we are looking at more sunshine. although a little bit milder in the northeast. the heat continues throughout the gulf and on into the southeast as well. that's what's going on around country, here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. >> good friday morning to you. we have sunshine breaking through. these layered stratus clouds t city of san francisco. you can see the golden gate bridge in the distance. looks like we're dealing with cloud cover until about noon at the least, and then we'll see the sunshine through but as a result of all of the low clouds hugging the coast, it's going to be about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. 69 the high in san francisco. 85 in gilroy. we continue to drop off for the weekend. hope you have a great friday. >> and that's your latest weaer >> and that's your latest weather. detectives in southern california are working around the clock trying to unravel a bizarre mystery at a fancy mansion. just two days after a 6-year-old boy fell down the stairs and was fatality injured, a woman living in the estate was found dead. nbc's miguel almaguer is in coronado with this story. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: ann, good morning to you. it's been nine days since the body of rebecca zahau was discovered here at the mansion. from the beginning investigators called the case, quote, suspicious and strange. but even today they still haven't determined how the young beauty died. the county sheriff says 15 detectives are now working this case and investigators will soon re-create rebecca zahau's death. her nude body was found in the courtyard of her boyfriend's mansion. police say a caller to 911 said she was hanging from a balcony. investigators say her feet were tied together, her hands bound behind her back. and despite describing the death scene as, quote, violent and suspicious, police here say they don't know if this was a homicide or a suicide. >> we have had cases where people have secured their hands behind their back or secured their legs. it's not unusual to see cases like that. >> reporter: retired homicide detective says that doesn't make sense to him. >> i just can't see how this girl did this by herself. >> reporter: he isn't involved in this case, but he spent 16 years in law enforcement. would you put 15 detectives on something that you thought was a suicide? >> no. no. i wouldn't. >> reporter: investigators say forensic evidence from the home and dna samples from the victim will help solve the mystery. zahau had been staying in the mansion with her millionaire boyfriend, pharmaceutical mogul jonah shacknai. police say he was not at home at the time and is cooperating with investigators. her sister says she would never never committed suicide. she tells nbc news rebecca was full of life, vibrant and fun loving. hopefully, justice will be done for her. but two days before her body was discovered, his son, 6-year-old max, fell down a flight of stairs. he died almost a week later in what police say was a tragic accident. zahau was at the mansion when max fell and later dropped off her dog at a boarding company. >> very nice but very quiet and mellow. wanted to go to the hospital and not have to worry about her dog. >> reporter: a death investigation now nine days old and still a complete mystery. jonah shacknai has had no comment about his girlfriend's death. while investigators say forensic evidence will be key to solving this mystery, they say it will take weeks to come back. they have asked the public to be cautious during their investigation. ann, back to you. >> miguel, thank you. coming up, we're going to switch gears and ask this question -- what's sarah palin doing working as a lifeguard in texas?we're going to explain. coming up next, can you really cook an egg on the sidewalk in this heat or bake cookie on a dashboard?

there is equality in the amount of work we're both doing, then why are we still getting such a bad rap? >> there's been this really strong belief, and i have been guilty of it as much as anyone else, that working women, you know, just have it worse than their husbands. and it's been around for a long time. and you know, it's time we sort of reckon with what the data is showing, which is that men and women really have the same kind of workloads. >> how was your life at home when you wrote this article? were you a hero or in trouble with your friends? >> what's so interesting is i came into the article looking for confirmation that i worked way more than my husband. and after a couple of weeks of doing the reports, the sociologists and the stayticians said there really is no second shift, which is this idea that working women, you know, worked an extra 15 hours a week. >> right. what struck me is that if you ask women about the workload, they will often say, well, i took my kids for two hours to go to the zoo or to get pizza, and they consider that both work and leisure time. >> right. right. >> men do this, it seems differentiate, they think that's more of a duty and a responsibility and don't credit it to leisure time. >> men are very good about claiming their leisure time. they are claiming their leisure time with the guys golfing or having a beer. women spend their leisure time with the kids and their girlfriends so they're always a little bit on duty which is why it's hard to notice that things have equalized because a woman is on duty with her home even when she's at work. she's mentally working about home. >> let's make sure we understand something. according to new data men do three times as much child care today, ruth, as they did in 1965. so there's been major improvement. >> major. major improvement. i mean, huge, hugely significant transformation. and surveys are show that men are doing more family conflict than working mothers which is also kind of amazing. >> if there is this error of perception, as you called it propaganda war, how do you go about changing it? >> well, you know, i think what women have to do is realize that we are a lot better than they say we are, and if i said it once, i'll say it a thousand times, women are lazy and, you know, they have to own up to it. >> own up to it. >> do you buy this idea, ruth, that a man's time at work is equal to a woman's time doing chores around the house? >> you know, i -- i -- i do. i had to. i have to. you know, i think we all have to. part of the problem is that, especially child care, is a little bit more labor intensive. and you just -- you're not by yourself. at least at the office you're by yourself. but the thing is that children and families need, you know, two things, they need time and they need money. and you know, in order to really have a discussion about this, we have to look both at paid and unpaid labor. >> i think the real problem is that men know how to get away and get by ourselves and have a good time. and that's because we really don't want to be there with you. >> okay. >> when you are moving toward the truth, not necessarily. >> just blew the piece in one thing. all right. >> thank you very much. good to have you all here. appreciate it. >> thank you. 16 minutes after the hour. let's go outside and check in with natalie who is somewhere in that huge crowd. >> that's right, matt. it is hot out here but it's about to get a little bit hotter when cee lo green hits the concert stage. i've got a trivia question for some of the boss' kids. see how they do. okay?

>> yeah. this thing here is this is a lighter weight denim. this really, really nice for right now, obviously when it's a lot warmer outside. but also take a look at the wash. it's a lighter blue than we're used to with denim. what's really important is the cut. the cut is a straight leg. when you are going to wear jeans to work, if you are allowed to wear jeans to work you really want it to be a jean that looks like a trouser. and you want to treat it as if -- give it the respect of a trouser or a skirt. in other words, make sure you're dressing it up. what we've done here is a silk blouse. now, ellen, excuse me,s that sleeveless. so that it could be worn in this kind of weather but we paired it with a very, very lightweight kind of cotton tweed jacket so that going into fall this would really be something that you would wear to work. do you feel appropriate for work?
